Why it was recalled

The Quadrature Body Coil (QBC) seal adhesive may fail, creating sharp edges that may come in contact with patients. If the QBC seal becomes loose during the scanning process, the risk to the patient may include skin abrasions, bruises, lacerations, hair loss/entanglement, and tissue injury.

Class II means using this product may cause temporary or medically reversible health problems; the chance of serious harm is remote.
